This article details our understanding of star and planet formation within galaxies, recognising the dynamic nature of ...

Binary star systems may offer a novel view of planet formation across the universe, a Yale research team says.

Two of the objects in the arrangement are cold brown dwarfs, which will serve as a benchmark for others throughout the Milky ...

Star formation is an intricate process that transforms vast molecular clouds into newborn stars, often accompanied by the formation of circumstellar discs composed of gas and dust.

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet.

A detailed study of young stars and their surroundings has produced dramatic new evidence about how multiple-star systems form and how the dusty disks that are the raw material for planets grow ...

The simulation started very, very early in the universe and used the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter model that scientists use as the standard model of Big Bang Cosmology, with another added library ...

A study led by Jenny Frediani at Stockholm University has revealed a planet-forming disk with a strikingly unusual chemical composition: an unexpectedly high abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in ...

An international team of astronomers, co-led by researchers at the University of Galway, has made the unexpected discovery of ...

Bursts of star formation explain mysterious brightness at cosmic dawn Intense flashes of light, not mass, resolve the puzzle of impossible brightness Peer-Reviewed Publication Northwestern University ...

A young sunlike star called HOPS 315 seems to host a swirling disk of gas giving rise to minerals that kick-start the planet formation process.
